Just in case, we selected a wine to go with David Murray's 320 page financial system inquiry, which we have promised to eat if the government does not extend the term of Australian Securities and Investments Commission chair Greg Medcraft.

We thought a Tasmanian Pinot Noir. Not too heavy, bright cherry flavours with a spicy finish. We might even try the match even after the news is made official that Medcraft's term has been extended – as we have no doubt it will be.
